Movie trailers are, at their core, just another form of advertising. They serve to get us excited about seeing the next blockbuster, remind us that a new favorite is coming to DVD, or entice us into tracking down an opus we’ve never seen before. And putting trailers into the Archive amounts to free advertising for these films. In that spirit, I offer “Trailerama,” culled from my DVD collection. It includes come-ons for mega-budget flicks, no-budget labors of love, and the usual... Topic: movie trailers

Gerardo Vargas, a.k.a "Promise," was a gang member and high school drop out, firmly in the grip of a New York City ghetto life -- that is, until he enrolled in Satellite High School. Satellite is an alternative school that is giving Gerardo a second chance. The program offers fewer classes that meet for longer periods, so Gerardo has more time to focus on each subject. Much smaller than traditional schools, Satellite allows Gerardo to be on a first name basis with his teachers, which...favoritefavoritefavoritefavorite ( 2 reviews ) Topics: education, youth, alternative schools

"The French Democracy," released mere weeks after the release of Lionhead's "The Movies," gives evidence for the potential of game movies as commentaries on current events. Inspired by the recent riots in the Parisian suburbs, this movie tells several stories about the victimization of French minority groups through harassment, job discrimination, and daily events and depicts circumstancs that make them feel like second-class citizens. Implicitly, this movie attempts to...favoritefavoritefavoritefavoritefavorite ( 1 reviews ) Topics: Koulamata, Lionhead Studios, The Movies, Chan, Alex

Sita is a goddess separated from her beloved Lord and husband Rama. Nina is an animator whose husband moves to India, then dumps her by email. Three hilarious shadow puppets narrate both ancient tragedy and modern comedy in this beautifully animated interpretation of the Indian epic Ramayana. Set to the 1920's jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw, Sita Sings the Blues earns its tagline as "the Greatest Break-Up Story Ever Told."favoritefavoritefavoritefavoritefavorite ( 58 reviews )
